Office 365 litigation hold licensing

Everyone in the company has Office 365 Business Essentials licenses.  The CEO wants the a subset of those users to have all emails sent/rec'd in a litigation hold to prevent them from deleting emails.  My research seems to imply that feature is only available on E3 plans which I believe I can switch to for those users.  The price difference is $5 to $20 and I guess that the existing $5 spent would be lost.  Originally Microsoft presales told me I could just buy the $3/month/use exchange online archiving which I did but when I tried to apply the license it gave me a compatibility error.
Is the only way to get litigation hold via the E3 plan?
Could I just create a mailflow rule that copies all of their email to a certain shared mailbox? If so what are the pitfalls to that?

If I asked you what the purpose of a headset was, you’d probably say something like, “To help me talk to the other person, obviously!”First, there’s no need for such a condescending tone. Second, you’d only be half right.While a goodprofessional headsetis definitely there to help you communicate, it also has another, more subtlepurpose: To protect your ears from loud sounds. A great headset will amplify your voice while keeping your hearing intact. This complex concept is best illustrated as follows:Voice = GoodLoudness = BadNoise cancellation in modern headsetsfilters out background noise and makes your voice sound clearer. But it does little to shield you from the loudness of the call itself. That’s what hearing protection tech does…Nowadays, professional headsets come with some form of integrated technology that protects your...

  • Office 365 Litigation Hold Questions

    Our organization is going to Office 365 from Google Apps, and we were trying to figure out the best way to approach legal holds.  First of all, I have heard two rumors that I couldn't find a specific answer for.  
    First, Is litigation hold being deprecated?  I have seen claims from other users online saying that they receive this prompt, but we never received such a prompt and it seems to work fine.
    Second, we also heard through a random vendor that license agreements only allow 15% of users in an organization to be on Litigation holds.  I could not find an account of this anywhere online, either...wasn't sure if this is true.
    If the two above criteria are true, what we want to do is have ALL users on our domain to have their email held for 1 year, regardless of if they delete it.  Is the Litigation hold the proper option for this, or should we use In-Place
    hold or Journaling?  Litigation hold seems to work well for us so far (we are in trials with about 20 users), but I wasn't sure if the above claims were valid.

    Hi,
    You might want to take a look at this blog post from The Exchange Team Blog:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/12/11/litigation-hold-and-in-place-hold-in-exchange-2013-and-exchange-online.aspx
    "In Exchange 2013 and the new Exchange Online, we introduced In-Place Hold, which allows more flexibility in preserving your data.  "
    But you still can use the Litigation Hold in Exchange 2013 and Exchange Online.
    "Litigation Hold isn't going away: Since the release of Exchange 2013 and the new Exchange Online, we've received a lot of questions and feedback from you about whether Litigation Hold
    will be removed. We want to clarify that we do not plan to remove Litigation Hold from Exchange Online or Exchange 2013."
    The "litigation hold is a deprecated feature" alert has been removed.
    "We've removed the alert from Exchange Online and in Exchange
    2013 SP1. We've also removed the recommendation from Exchange Online and Exchange 2013 documentation."
    Also, this forum focuses on questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about the Plan/Hosted/Cloud aspects of Office 365. I would suggest you to post in the forum of
    Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:

  • Steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E1/E2 licenses, but don't have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.

    After many hours of debugging with Microsoft support the system to install the Lync Client silently can be done with a SINGLE LINE command.  The steps to take are below. It should be an easy next step to put this as GPO installation since
    it is a simple command.
    Comments appreciated. 
    side question: Why is there no Lync 2013 or Lync Office 365 forum?
    Basic steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E2 licenses, but don’t have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.
    This also applies for other Office 365 service types where the full office suite download is not included.  In April 2015 This was impossible to find online and not know by the Lync support team.
    Steps are:
    Download the Office deployment tool from
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36778 and extract it to a folder. For this
    example we will use the \\server\sharename
    location.
    Extracting it creates a setup.exe file and it show a sample XML file.
    2. Create XML file and give it a name such as LyncEntryRetail.xml
    Note: The key is the productID that has to be the “LyncEntryRetail”. Other product IDs will download a version that needs another office 365 license. The productID “LyncRetail” needs an E3 license of Office 365.
    <Configuration>
      <Add SourcePath="\\server\sharename" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
        <Product ID="LyncEntryRetail">
          <Language ID="en-us" />
        </Product>
      </Add> 
    </Configuration>
    3. From the folder where you extracted the Office deployment tool, run the following command on the command prompt to download the source files and store them on the shared drive:
     (on single line)
    Setup.exe /download LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    One can also run the same on a server share by using UNC path names such as  (on single line)
    \\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /download
    \\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    4. Run the following command on the command prompt on a machine where you want to install the software: (on single line)
    \\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /configure
    \\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    Once you are comfortable that it all works, you may want to edit the XML file if you want to have silent installation and add the following lines.
      <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> 
      <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />

  • Adding Licenses for Office 365 Pro Plus and Power BI

    Hello. I have one license for Office 365 Pro Plus and one Power BI license. I want to buy another Power BI license to assign to a prospective client so he can log on to my Power BI site and view Power Pivot reports in the browser. I think that I need to
    purchase an additional Office 365 Pro Plus license ($12/mo) as well as an additional Power BI license ($40/mo). Is this correct?
    My other question has to do with what I believe is referred to as my Organizational account. I have one for Office 365 and a different one for Power BI. That is, my logins are different for the two subscriptions. I'm not sure how this happened or even if
    it's important. I have had no issues installing Office 365 on my desktop, laptop and tablet and I can upload files to my Power BI site and access them. Does it matter that my organizational accounts are different?
    Finally, if I have it correct in paragraph 1 that I need an additional license for both Office 365 Pro Plus and Power BI, do I just login to the two separate organizational accounts and add a license to each one?
    Thank you.
    Regards
    Arthur

    Hi Guy. I went ahead and purchased both licenses. The Office 365 is only $12/mo so it's not a big deal. 
    After getting that great information from you on the other post, I contacted Microsoft support and got this issue straightened out. I did have two accounts (domains). They had me cancel my Office 365 subscriptions on the account that I purchased those subcriptions
    on and then resubcribed to Office 365 on the Power BI account.
    Thanks again for all of your help.

  • Office 2013 Professional + Office 365 Home Premium - what happens?

    I am currently using Office 2013's Excel where I have access to Power Pivot and Power View. This is a perpetual, non-subscription version of Office with the Professional Plus product key.
    I am considering purchasing an Office 365 Home Premium license as well, so my family members can use Office on their devices.
    Since Power Pivot and Power View (afaik) are not part of Office 365 Home Premium, I wanted to know if I can activate my Office with my Home Premium account but override Excel with the product key?
    In other words, is there any way to make Excel behave like it is part of both O365 Home Premium as well as Office 2013 Professional Plus?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, PowerView and Inquire, are only available on certain SKUs (versions). These include:
    Office 2013 Professional Plus (available through Volume Licensing, MSDN and TechNet subscriptions)
    Office 365 Professional Plus (available as standalone subscription)
    Office 365 Professional Plus (available as part of the
    Office 365 Mid-Size Business,
    Office 365 Enterprise Plan 3, or
    Office 365 Enterprise Plan 4 offerings)
    Excel 2013 Standalone Volume License and Standalone Retail 32-bit and 64-bit.
    I recommend you connect
    Microsoft Customer center to get more detailed information.

  • Office 365, Office 2013 and IaaS

    Hello all,
    I am planning to use a RDS environment built on AWS with Office 2013 pro plus deployed in it. Office 2013 pro plus would be licensed with a Volume License from a SPLA.
    I would like to know if I can subscribe to Office 365 business essentials and then use this Office 365 account from the RDS environment and especially by interconnecting Office 2013 pro plus to it. Would that be MS compliant?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Best Regards.

    Hi,
    You cannot use Office 365 Business Essentials license to connect to Office 365 ProPlus via a Remote Desktop Connection. This is because Office 365 ProPlus does not come with Office 365 Business Essentials.
    To use Office 2013 via RDS connection, each user should be assigned with a license for Office 365 ProPlus, Office 365 ProPlus will then contact the Office Licensing Service on the Internet to obtain a licensing token for the user who uses Office 365
    ProPlus on the computer and then activate Office 365 ProPlus.

  • Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus using System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1

    Hello,
    I am trying to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus to my client machines (more than 100) via. System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1. It will use one administrator account for installation. But as per the licensing, we can install Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs
    and 5 more Windows tablets/iPads with one Office 365 Pro Plus licenses. If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.   
    So, what is the alternative approach?
    Thanks
    Raj

    If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
    Hi,
    this is incorrect.
    There is no licensing restriction/control for the *installation* account at all, the licensing is related to who is *using* Office365ProPlus *after* installation is performed. This control, is implemented by the Microsoft Account, or OrgID, used to sign-in/activate
    to Office365 when *using* Office365ProPlus.

  • Co-existance in on-premise / office 365

    I'm sure theres a milion sources of the answer out there, but thats the problem, theres just to much information on Office 365 to go through it all to find the answer to this, so please excuse me for asking.
    1. I want to enable a user in Office 365, can I keep this user with his mailbox in our on-premise exchange or do I have to move the users mailbox to the cloud?
    We were picturing that there would be some sort of sync between cloud and on-premise and the mailbox would exist in both, but thats not possible is it?
    2. This question is kind of assuming the answer to 1 is no. So here goes, can I use the Office 365 client software install on a PC for a office 365 user, but keep their mailbox on-premise? I'm guessing un-ticking "Office Online" or "Office
    365 proplus" would achieve something like that when assigning the MS Office 365 Plan E3 license?
    Please if replies could be kept to answers to my questions rather responding with questions as to why I want to do it this way, that would be great.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    1. We can't keep this mailbox in both. By enabling Office 365, you will need to move the user's mailbox to the cloud.
    2. The answer is basically no. Since the user is an Office 365 user, the mailbox is online, we can't use the same mailbox on-premise. If we want to use a mailbox on-premise, we would have to create a local on-premise mailbox for the user, it would
    be a waste that the user has one on cloud and the other on-premise and Office 365 would be pointless then.

  • Office 365 ProPlus Shared Computer Activation on non-persistent VDI

    Hello everybody
    We've different customers that are using a non-persistent VDI solutions like VMWare Horizon or Citrix provisioning.
    Some of the customers wants to license the Office Suite via Office 365 ProPlus.
    When configuring Office 365 ProPlus with Shared Computer Activation and without AD FS we've the behaviour where users needs to login each time to Login to a machine, because after signou the machin gets restored.
    Is the only solution the one described in
    this article by using AD FS or is there another solution to perhaps store the provided Office 365 credentials and licensing information.
    As I'm aware a Office 2013 volume license Version cannot be used anymore starting on 1. August 2015 if licensed over Office 365 ProPlus because the use-righst for a volume license version are being removed.
    Thank you for clarification on that, because I'm not able to find on official statemant.
    Kind regards

    Hi,
    ADFS should be the primary choice for your case. In addition to this there are a variety of qualified third party identity providers that can be connected with Office 365 to provide the necessary single sign-on.

  • Unable to license Office 365 ProPlus when customized at the application level

    It has long been claimed that Office 365 ProPlus can only be installed as one single package, and that Click-to-Run is not customizable at the application level.  Microsoft lists the following at
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj839718.aspx “Office 365 ProPlus installs as one package. This means you can't choose to deploy Word and PowerPoint to users, but not Access.
    If you don’t want users to run Access, you can customize the installation by using App-V. You can also use AppLocker to prevent users from starting certain Office applications.”
    Can anyone then explain the purpose of the additional product ID’s specified in the following kb article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297
    Using the product ID’s listed here, I set the Configuration.xml file to selectively install only four Office products, which included Access, Excel, PowerPoint and Word.  In this example, I removed the Product ID O365ProPlusRetail and instead just included
    the Product ID’s for the individual applications we wanted to install.
    <Configuration>
      <Add OfficeClientEdition="32">
       <Product ID="AccessRetail" >
         <Language ID="en-us" />     
       </Product>
       <Product ID="ExcelRetail" >
         <Language ID="en-us" />     
       </Product>
       <Product ID="PowerPointRetail" >
         <Language ID="en-us" />     
       </Product>
       <Product ID="WordRetail" >
         <Language ID="en-us" />     
       </Product>
      </Add>
     <Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
     <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
     <Logging Name="OfficeSetup.txt" Path="%temp%" />
    </Configuration>
    Given what I had read throughout multiple areas of documentation, especially the line that mentions, “Click-to-Run is not customizable at the application level,” I was surprised and excited to see that the click to run installer only installed the applications
    that I specified.
    Using the Configuration.xml file I specified above, I was able to complete a custom install of Office 365 ProPlus, and included only programs that I wanted to have installed.
    The issue comes when you go to license the software.  I can launch any of the individual programs without issue, but I am unable to complete the process of activating the license.
    For example, see below where I have launched Word, entered my account information and attempted to activate.  Everything has worked fine up to this point, but I am told that I cannot activate because the product is not installed.  It seems that
    my custom install has prevented needed information from being added to my system to allow for the activation wizard to detect the presence of the installed Office software and to activate appropriately.
    Can anyone from Microsoft comment on this?  Is there any way possible to proceed given my configurations?  If not, what is the purpose of
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297 ?
    In what case would you actually be able to use the additional product IDs? (AccessRetail, ExcelRetail, WordRetail, etc.)

    Whilst I don't work for MS, I have a few thoughts on this..
    The documentation refers to the use of ODT for customisation, but that is mainly for customising the install-time aspects and the update sources, not the resultant feature state.
    For controlling feature state, either AppLocker of re-packaging/sequencing via App-V is suggested.
    KB2842297 mentions the products that ODT will "recognise" for the purposes of "customisation", but doesn't really detail how nor why.
    C2R, as it is a pre-packaged sequenced output, is intended to be consumed as-is, by the vast majority.
    Re-packaging/sequencing of a complex product such as Office isn't for the faint of heart (and to be honest, the installers for Office have long been a complex topic over many years)
    MS have stated for many years that the individual component applications of the Office suites, are not permitted to be broken up out of the suite, for license compliance.
    e.g. If you install OfficeProPlus, and via customisation, disable or do-not-install specific component apps, you must hold a license for the relevant suite (ProPlus in this example).
    Even if you re-compose the resultant installed apps, such that only those apps that would equate to OfficeStd, because you installed ProPlus, it is a ProPlus license that you must hold.
    Similarly, if you were to install individual apps, composing a feature-equivalent result to ProPlus, and "functionally" have the same set of apps that ProPlus would give you, holding a license for ProPlus is not sufficient, becuase it is not ProPlus
    that you have installed.
    So, when you modified the configuration XML, and downloaded and installed "WordRetail" + "ExcelRetail" etc, this is not equivalent to ProPlus (neither from an installed-product perspective, nor from a licensing perspective).
    It seems to me, that your license (as recorded/represented in your MS account) is finding that you have products installed for which you don't hold a license.
    And, that the license that you do hold, is not a match for the products you are trying to activate.
    In years gone by, MS did make available individual products (e.g. Word, Excel etc) for sale.
    I don't know if MS continue do make individual apps, in C2R form, available for sale, but the Office product team have created ODT in such a way that ODT can cater for them.
    Perhaps in some global markets, or possibly in the future, MS might make those individual products available in C2R form.
    So I'm not all that surprised, based on nothing more than previous experience (sprinkled with some assumption and theory), that you've found some interesting, slightly-mystifying things ;)

  • Subscription and volume licensed Office 365 C2R App-V packages on the same computer

    I'm interested if anyone has come across a similar scenario to what we have at the organisation I am currently working for. The organisation has signed up for an E3 subscription to Office 365, however would like to continue to using their volume licenses
    of Visio and Project 2013 (at least until new versions are released at which point they'll likely move to the same subscription model).
    Using the Office Deployment Tool, I've created App-V 5.0 SP2 packages for
    a. "O365ProPlusRetail"
    b. "ProjectProVolume" and "VisioProVolume"
    Both App-V packages ignore any exclusion rules in the configuration.xml file I've defined. This is expected and I can control which applications are published using Config Mgr 2012 R2. Both packages deploy and run as I would expect.
    The issue I specifically have is that if I publish both App-V packages (using different package ID's) to the same PC with modified DeploymentConfig.xml files:
    a. "O365ProPlusRetail" package only enables Word, Outlook and Excel (subscription licensing)
    b. "ProjectProVolume/VisioProVolume" package only enables Visio and Project (volume licensed)
    it appears as though the Word, Excel and Outlook from (b) are utilised instead of from (a) even though they are specifically disabled. This means that Word, Excel and Outlook activate to our local KMS server, rather than using the user credentials as we would
    prefer.
    To confirm I can see that package (a) is already running when I run the following command: Get-AppvClientPackage | select Name, InUse, InUseByCurrentUser
    Name                                                                                         
    InUse                                InUseByCurrentUser

    Perhaps what I am trying to do is unsupported but I can't find anything explicity calling this out - and surely other organisations will have a similar scenario to us. Is there any best practice recommendations from Microsoft in this regard?

  • Office 365 Pro Plus vs Office 2013 Pro Plus licensing

    I can't find any exact answers on this but I'm wondering if I can run Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of office 365 Pro Plus click to run. The problem is click to run causes all kinds of problems with 3rd party software. It's so random too and doesn't happen
    to everyone in my office.
    With office 365 this is what happens. We have this 3rd party integration with word that adds a tab to interact with our CRM. When you click a button on this tab word crashes and you loose your document. It will auto recover most of the time but at that point
    the 3rd part integration is broken because the document was open outside of the software.
    I did an online repair of office 365 but that didn't fix it.
    So I have a volume license key for Office 2013 pro plus for my terminal servers and was wondering if I could just use that key on my computers to activate Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of Office 365 and still be compliant with the license agreement.
    I have tried installing Office 2013 Pro Plus and activating with the Office 365 login but it converts office 2013 to the Office 365 click to run. It's so infuriating! LOL.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    "So I have a volume license key for Office 2013 pro plus for my terminal servers and was wondering if I could just use that key on my computers to activate Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of Office 365 and still be compliant with the license agreement."
    By the volume license key, do you mean a MAK key? Technically it should work fine, but since it will be related to the licence policy, I suggest you contact the local customer service to confirm:

    "I have tried installing Office 2013 Pro Plus and activating with the Office 365 login but it converts office 2013 to the Office 365 click to run. It's so infuriating! LOL."
    I understand in your scenario if you activate Office 2013 with the Office 365 account it will display Office 365. But does it also display "click to run"? The installation method should change unless you installed Office 2013 via click to run too.

  • Need a script to enable in-place hold on Office 365

    Hello, I need a script to enable in-place hold on Office 365 for my users.
    The options that I have found for this so far is to enable in-place hold for a DL or an individual user. Is there a way to use a CSV instead?
    This is what I have used before.....where "allstaff" is the name of a DL.
    New-MailboxSearch -name "3 Year In-Place Hold" -SourceMailboxes allstaff -InPlaceHoldEnabled $true -ItemHoldPeriod 1095

    That doesn't seem to work.........I think it's trying to create a new hold query for every user.
    PS C:\scripts> ./user_hold.ps1
    WARNING: The hold setting may take up to 60 minutes to take effect.

    Unable to execute the task. Reason: A mailbox search named <3 Year In-Place Hol

      t-MailboxSearchTaskException] 95CD9ECA
    So my next question...........how do I add users to an existing In-Place hold?
